32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff did not allow resident to have visitors while in care. On 1/15/2025, the Department received a complaint alleging facility staff is restricting Resident #1 (R1) visitation from Individual #1 (I1). It was alleged that I1 attempted to visit R1 on Sunday January 12, 2025, and that staff did not allow I1 to see R1 as they told I1 that R1 was not home. Per interview with the Licensee, it was revealed that facility staff did not restrict I1 from visiting R1 instead I1 came to the facility while R1 was out in the community. The LPA reviewed R1’s daily notes and the facility’s sign in and out sheet and confirmed that R1 was out in the community on January 12, 2025. The Licensee stated that residents are always allowed visitors and that she has not restricted R1 from seeing I1. The LPA reminded the Licensee that facility staff cannot restrict visitation unless there are legal documents such as a restraining order in place. The LPA reminded the Licensee to keep a copy of such legal documents in resident’s files. The information obtained during the investigation did not include evidence sufficient to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was issued. |
